I think I must be a dreadful judge of character I don't normally dislike sommeone on first meeting but when I do I usually find months down the line I really like them?? and vice versa .....So now if I don't like someone I now have the habit of saying to myself "Wait and see" :-0

I really am a people person and try to keep an open mind when I meet someone for the first time. However, I do get a gut reaction if I feel someone is not as genuine as they appear on the surface, and my gut reaction is almost always correct.

SueMaid, i am certain that the person I am referring to , isn't the same person as others are ( sorry that's awful grammar lol), it's a long story ;-)

Not here now, and is probably little remembered.

Sorry edited as I am going out and thought I'd better remove in case anyone got the wrong end of the stick lol.

You're all dropping these little hints but won't tell :-( I want to know!!!!! ;-)

everybody ive met off GR
have been lovely :-D :-D

some are more like family now <3 <3

All but one of the GR people I've met have been what I expected them to be, which is at least pleasant and friendly and those who I had a little more time to speak with, really really lovely :-)

Definitely gut instinct works for me. For example there was someone on GR I did not like nor trust and when I met them, my instinct was confirmed.

BC XX

:-D <3

How could it possibly be you Sue
your part of the family now ;-)

Is it me then Joy :-\

Kay we have always loved you how could we not :-D :-D

If you dont click/warm to someones personality from the onset then its doomed as a friendship,,,,,,but you can never tell straight away they are a *wrong un* as *wrong uns*as they are very good at misleading.

Ta Joy,,,,told ya I was just blooming lovely. ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D.

Well, it wasn't me. But it could easily have been :-)

tsk! Joy.......you can't come on here and get away with saying half a story......come on now....give!......who was it?......why? Where? And when? :-D

well i am not afraid to say
somebody i wasnt to keen on (yes on GR )
and after meeting them
i think i was so wrong about them
and its not often i change my mind about somebody


but so glad i did :-D :-D

My gut instinct rarely lets me down.

And on occassions I have been persuaded to 'give them a chance' I have been bitterly disappointed and proved right.

I think it is mainly a female thing. Some men have it too, but not to the same extent as us girls...

Only twice in my life, can I ever remember meeting someone that I took an instant dislike to.
One of them, turned out to be the nastiest of all nasty folk , who has caused no end of trouble and hurt. I chose stay as far away as possible

I honestly thnk this individual is made up of two halves.
One half is mad and the other half is bad.

In the words of Plain White T's....
"Hate Is A Strong Word, But I Really, Really, Really Don't Like You"

Karma will come
:-D :-D :-D

I was thinking as i walked to the shops, similar to what John has posted

"But I have always tried to see some good in each person, and I think that is right. Even the most horrible people are probably not totally evil."

I can from a distance see that people who turned out not to be who I thought they were, were not entirely 'nasty and untruthful' , or not at least with deliberate intent to hurt even, more that their motivation was different to mine and the two didn't match! They were not 'bad'.... just selfish I suppose, they took what they needed...but then wasn't that also what I ws trying to do? Just the needs were different.

if my response was motivated by 'affection' theirs was motivated by 'practicality' Their life experiences maybe led to them reacting differently to the way I wanted them to, or to how I reacted to circumstances, so are they to be any more to blame for my hurt than I am myself for settling for less than I needed, or expecting more than they were capable of?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, because not only do you then see the person clearly, but you can see the weaknesses ( or strengths whichever way you look at it) that you overlooked, both theirs and your own :-(

We all make mistakes and I for one will be listening not only to my gut instinct but to others as well :-D <3

*Proposal* yeahhhh right

well Mersey, he certailny fooled me - I fell for it hook line and sinker - I'm a salesman's deam me :-D
